Implications - Consumers are constantly looking for products that make everyday tasks more simple and more efficient. Businesses should look to enhance already-established products with features and design elements that will provide customers with a more pleasant experience. By addressing an issue that was previously unsolved, a company can ensure dominance in this untapped market.
